Description
Summary In this episode, Craig and Andrew discuss their recent experiences at baseball games and dive into the world of Pearl Jam, including their unique concert videos and setlist structure. They also pay tribute to the late Steve Albini, a renowned musician, audio engineer, and music critic who had a significant impact on the industry. The hosts share their favorite albums produced by Albini and reflect on his principled stance on music production and the music industry as a whole. Lastly, they revisit their project of creating a single-disc version of the Smashing Pumpkins' album 'Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness.' Craig and Andrew discuss their process of resequencing the album 'Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness' by the Smashing Pumpkins. They wanted to create a single-disc version of the album that still had the feel of two sides. They had two rules: the album couldn't exceed the running length of a CD, and it had to have the feel of two sides. They debated and made tough cuts, but ultimately created a resequenced version of the album that they both love.
